945

A project of Asian Improv aRts SF in collaboration with Lenora Lee Dance (LLD), API Cultural Center (APICC), and the Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC).

AIR/SF is pleased to announce that we have secured a Chinatown storefront space under the auspices of CCDC at 945 Clay St., between Joice Alley and Stockton St. We are also pleased to have received a Creative Spaces Grant from the SF Arts Commission in order to formulate a 3 year plan for improvements and programming.

Our goal with 945 is to “hold space” for artistic and cultural creativity driven by the community of artists and activists who have gathered around the body of collaborative work between AIR/SF, LLD, APICC, and CCDC over the last decade. This work includes commissioning and premiering of musical works, immersive dance performances, other interdisciplinary forms, as well as the production of recordings and films, organizing school and community site arts education, and of course, creative place-making in several districts of San Francisco.

Our vision for 945 is for it to be a place for artists and cultural activists to work; to build pieces, brainstorm concepts, work on day to day planning and implementation, engage with community members, and share artistic work in the intimate setting of a storefront space. We plan to organize this activity through a Resident Artist Program, Resident Curator Program, and Technical Assistance Incubator.
